Lawrence ‘Lucky’ Leprechaun’s Resume

The Resume Expert’s Take on a Wee Irish Lad’s Resume

According to legend, leprechauns are small, mischievous Irish men who work as shoemakers and guard the pot of gold at the end of every rainbow. With St. Patrick’s Day coming up, many of these wee lads are looking for work, so Resume Expert Kim Isaacs put together a sample resume to help them out.

Personable, sprightly and high-energy elf who is trustworthy, hardworking and reliable. Seeking to leverage strong security background as the current caretaker of the Blarney Stone to become the next Pot of Gold guardian. Enthusiastic, “roll-up-your-sleeves” work ethic demonstrated through both present and prior employment (former cobbler/shoemaker) as well as through volunteer activities (Notre Dame “Fighting Irish” mascot, Lucky Charms runner-up spokesmodel). Solidly credentialed (BS in security), bilingually fluent (Gaelic) and internationally traveled.

Entrusted with highly responsible role to safeguard the Blarney Stone. Supervise a 12-elf security contingent and maintenance crew in daily activities ensuring the protection of stone’s magical properties and the safety of tourists visiting the stone and Blarney Castle.

Key Accomplishments:

Earned fast-track promotion from initial apprenticeship to head caretaker, outpacing the typical leprechaun career progression by three years.

Thwarted potentially disastrous graffiti campaign planned by notorious troll gang through partnership with local law enforcement. Co-led undercover investigation that exposed plot, led to multiple arrests and prevented defacement of national landmark.

Commended for ensuring the protection and preservation of major tourist attraction and assist thousands of visitors annually in safely kissing the Blarney Stone.
